Question 123.

A student compared and –0.3. He changed to the decimal –0.25 and wrote, “Since 0.3 is greater than 0.25, –0.3 is greater than –0.25”. What was the student’s error?


Answer:

As we can see that


0.3 value is greater than 0.25


∵ They are positive values


As we move to negative numeral system


Negative sign makes value smaller


Moving from 0 to -∞ we gets decreasing order of values


∴ more the value to the negative sign less it counts


And less the value to negative sign more it counts


As 0.3 value is greater than 0.25


But due to negative sign


-0.3 gets smaller than -0.25


∴ Student error was –0.3 is greater than –0.25


Instead he has to write –0.3 is smaller than –0.25



Question 124.

A student multiplied two mixed fractions in the following manner:
